In an interview with Extra!, the Oscar winner admitted that she's surprised to be a bride-to-be.

Matthew McConaughey opens up about his hit man character for MTV News' Summer Movie Preview Week.

"Killer Joe" is the type of genre film you only need to know a few key details about to be intrigued.
First, Matthew McConaughey plays a crazy contract killer. Second, the plot revolves around a desperate young man (Emile Hirsch) who plots to kill his mother with help from his family (Thomas Haden Church, Gina Gershon), who are asked to offer up their teenage daughter (Juno Temple) as a retainer to hire the hit man. Third, the film landed an NC-17 rating for all its gratuitous violence. Bonus highbrow fact: The seemingly crazy story is based on Pulitzer Prize winner Tracy Letts' award-winning play.
See what we mean about intriguing? When MTV News caught up with McConaughey recently, we asked him to set aside the film's outrageous factors for a moment in order to name a few of his character's redeemable qualities, aside from the killer-for-hire part.
"He keeps to himself until he has to go do his business. He's a very structured guy," McConaughey said. "Everyone understands, on the up-and-up, what his plan is and how he'll go through with it. It's a very clean business, and he doesn't want anyone else to know anything they shouldn't know that could implicate them. He's very, very clean and he's a very good businessman. He just happens to have a job that's kinda heinous and absurd."
The "Lincoln Lawyer" and "Magic Mike" said the fun of the film is in not knowing when to laugh or gasp — or both.
"It's a comedy, but everyone played it straight," McConaughey explained. "It wasn't a comedy where you played the joke. The situations are absurd. It's a bit of a hyper-reality, like in some good Tarantino films — very violent, at the same time it's very funny. It's the kind of late laugh that you go, 'I'm not supposed to be laughing, but I just found myself laughing, and is it OK for me to laugh at that? 'Cause I just did.' I like it."
It's Summer Movie Preview Week, and MTV News will be bringing you exclusive interviews, clips and photos for the most anticipated summer movies. Get ready to gorge on inside looks at "The Avengers," Robert Pattinson's "Bel Ami," Kristen Stewart's "Snow White," "The Amazing Spider-Man" and more!

A Munich disc jockey held for five hours as a sex slave by a 47-year-old German woman said on Monday he would press charges of sexual coercion and deprivation of freedom against a woman he had met just a few hours earlier in a local pub.?
The 43-year-old disc jockey named Dieter S. told Munich's T.Z. newspaper that he had to call police to rescue him from the woman's flat in Munich after she locked him inside, hid the key and forced him to have repeated sex with her.?
"She was sex mad and there was no way out of the flat," Dieter said. He told the daily, which had also earlier published a police report about the incident, that he had consensual sex with the woman three times earlier that day on Easter Monday.?
?"I was having a beer at the pub after work and met this woman -- and we hit it off right away," Dieter said, referring to their meeting at a pub in Munich's Ludwigsvorstadt district. "She was quite attractive," he added.?
But after the first consensual rounds, Dieter said he wanted to leave. He discovered she had locked the doors from the inside and hidden the key so he could not leave. He thought about trying to flee over the balcony but it was too high, he said.?
"I realized I was trapped and had to keep going until she fell asleep," Dieter said. "So we had sex five more times."?
As soon as the woman fell asleep, Dieter said he went out to the balcony and placed an emergency call to police on his cell phone. Police arrived 10 minutes later.?
The woman unlocked the door to let the authorities in. She then promptly propositioned the officers, police said.?
"She tried to persuade the police officers to join her in 'related activities' -- albeit unsuccessfully," Munich police wrote in a press release.?
The woman was taken into custody and later released. She now faces charges of sexual coercion and deprivation of freedom.
